Abba (Nunca Falla)

The song 'Abba (Nunca Falla)' by Marcos Brunet is a profound expression of Christian faith and worship, deeply rooted in the scripture and the personal relationship between the believer and God. The title 'Abba' is an Aramaic term meaning 'Father,' which is used in the New Testament to denote a close, intimate relationship with God. The phrase 'Nunca Falla' translates to 'Never Fails,' emphasizing the unwavering nature of God's love.

The lyrics begin with a direct reference to Ephesians 3:14-19, where the apostle Paul prays for the spiritual strength and understanding of the believers in Ephesus. Brunet echoes this prayer, expressing a desire to not only intellectually understand God's love but to experience it fully. The song is a call to a deeper experiential knowledge of God's love, which surpasses mere intellectual comprehension. This theme of experiential knowledge is repeated throughout the song, highlighting the importance of a personal encounter with God's love.

The latter part of the song shifts to a more intimate tone, where the singer feels loved, accepted, and cherished by God. The repeated use of 'Abba' reinforces the filial relationship with God, and the assurance that His love is constant and embracing. The song culminates in a declaration of worship as the appropriate response to experiencing God's love. The repetition of the phrase 'Tu amor nunca falla' (Your love never fails) serves as a powerful affirmation of God's eternal covenant and the security it provides to the believer.
